Weird Fiction: Trouble in Shadywood High

At first glance, Shadywood High, circa 2002, is the typical American High School you’ve seen in hundreds of teen movies. But spooky stories have always surrounded the school. Stories of missing students, feral creatures, and strange, late-night rituals.

Weird Fiction is a simple rules system for role-playing games. With only 8 pages of rules (and a handful of six-sided dice), it allows players to quickly develop a set of unique characters, jump into the game, and focus on the role-playing experience.

When playing Weird Fiction RPGs, players don’t need to worry about tracking abilities, health points or counting ammo. They just need to think about their own character’s motivations, relationships, and role in the dramatic and exciting story that they, as a group, will uncover together!

Trouble in Shadywood High is a 28 page scenario handbook. It is intended to be played within 1-3 game sessions, depending on the group of players and their particular approach to the narrative.
